Lavender tea and amazake
My advisor thinks that I'm doing fine \o/ I will see him again at the end of the month with more details filled in on my proposal. Also need to send some emails. So far, I've been busy helping Z finish a paper, and after an exhausting marathon of work on his part, it was submitted on time.
We celebrated with a skate date that lasted about ten minutes (did not expect quality from the free outdoor public rink, but the ice and the rental skates Z had were TERRIBLE beyond my lowest expectations, how does this place have a 4.4 rating), a couple bowls of ramen, and some shopping at the Asian grocery stores. Did not find kome koji at either of them, which was a disappointment, since I want to try making my own amazake, and I had to order it online. But they had plenty of other delicious things to stock our pantries with. Tonight, I ate fried lotus root chips and daigaku imo, nom.
Now that things are less busy, I hope to finally start making a dent in the Chocobox collection beyond my gifts. And skating more - one lesson got cancelled last week, and I only made it to one public and my other lesson because of other things going on. Still troubleshooting my boots, but I want to get these back outside edges down for sure. (I suspect the boot issues are making this harder than it needs to be, because if the outside of my foot hurts, my brain probably doesn't want to lean on it further.)
My heat has been working fine, and the other issue I was having got resolved - my building's recycling bin has been missing for at least a month, and after several calls to the city, my landlord finally got us new ones. I didn't manage to stuff all my built-up recycling in, but I got the worst of it out for tonight and no longer feel sad when I see that corner.
While I was tidying, I also found this drawing I made a while back using oil pastels my dad gave me. I added a little more to it and declared it done. Obviously, I'm not that great at drawing, in general or with oil pastels, but that's okay. It was fun to make.
